ISTANBUL, April 10 (Bernama-Anadolu) -- US Vice President JD Vance departed Friday for Pakistan to lead peace talks with Iran, saying he expects the negotiations to be "positive", according to a video record on DRM News' YouTube account.
Speaking before departure, Vance said the US delegation is “looking forward to the negotiation" and voiced hope that the talks would yield a constructive outcome, Anadolu Ajansi reported.
“I think it’s going to be positive,” he said, while stressing that progress would depend on Iran’s approach at the negotiating table.
“If the Iranians are willing to negotiate in good faith and extend an open hand, that’s one thing,” Vance said.
“If they’re going to try to play us, they’re going to find that the negotiating team is not that receptive,” he added.
Vance added that the US position is guided by clear instructions from the White House. “The president has given us some pretty clear guidelines, and we’ll see how it goes,” he said.
